Some British usages were common in Toronto when I lived there in the seventies. I adopted the very handy "Tuesday week" as soon as I figured out what it meant. I was sad to have to let it go when I got back home and discovered it was still baffling to Americans. I also liked the "it should do" family, which stuck with me for many years and may still occasionally emerge.
